You know that every season, we give carte blanche to an artist to embellish our shop windows.
For this season it is a bit specific because the artist is our workshop fairy Ludmilia who imagined them with everything she found in our jumble. She made it with everything we keep, our odds and ends, our own little Diogenes syndrome: buttons, ribbons, labels, pins, bits of fabric… And of course, her talent and her taste!
Ludmilia is the one who took over from our dear Isabelle, who went into “jubilación”.
Sorry, I am going off a tangent, but did you know the equivalent for “retirement” in Spanish is “jubilación”. I learnt that this summer and it’s great, is it not?
Let’s get back to the buttons at hand.
Ludmilia wears many different sombreros.
The first one is to help us create our own collection. She draws, she does pattern cutting, she designs prototypes, she alters and improves the ones from others… And, believe me, despite her discretion and softness, when one talks about clothing, nothing escapes her sight!
The second one is to take care of you.
Well yes, it is thanks to her nimble fingers that trousers fit you perfectly, that a sleeve stops right at the beginning of your wrist, or that a long dress becomes a short dress… Honestly, with legs like yours, it would be a shame not to show them!
AND for 65 years, at Victoire, this service has been entirely free.
What can we say, we love to see you wearing our clothes and having them fit you perfectly… Otherwise, what’s the point?
Have a nice weekend,
Camille
